Long story short: Frequent stealth, high evasion, and either high physical damage or heavy condition damage.
Long story long: It’s all in your play style. They can do basically anything. You can max out power and/or precision to make them probably the hardest hitting class in the game, or you can go condition heavy and try to evade their attacks while they lose health. You’re not a tank, so between your armor rating and weapon skills, you do have to move around a lot more than other classes, but that’s a good thing. Half the time your enemies can’t hit a moving target.
The thief’s trademark is the ability to stealth and shadowstep. Even after increasing the “revealed” duration, stealth is a strong ability, and shadowstep can be just as effective when used well. My current build relies a lot on Hide in Shadows and Cloak and Dagger (and occasionally Shadow Refuge) with trait skills Hidden Thief, Meld with Shadows, and Cloaked in Shadow. Frequent stealth and being good at dodging has helped me win a lot of fights, and when I’m in over my head I can usually get out alive.
They also seem the best at exploring. With a short bow and shadowstep utility skill, thieves can move across the map faster than any other class, and stealth lets you open chests and cap skill challenges without a fighting off nearby enemies. You’ll feel like a true thief when you swipe a splendid chest right from under a champion troll.
